Edward and Amanda talk Fields of Arle, and Jim from Punching Cardboard joins Edward and Amanda to discuss the recent Asmodee takeover of ZMan and others.

Last episode was all about newer games, so to balance the scales, we're taking it back to 2004 (and 2014) in our featured review when we tackle the tried & true classic, Saint Petersburg! We also pay our respects to John Henry in our trailer of Martin Wallace's 2008, Steel Driver. And just in time to help folks decide whether to back (or not) the Kickstarter, we take on Yokohama in the second trailer. Oh and did we mention that we welcome back Tony (on a quarterly basis) to the show? ;)

We tackle a few recent releases in this episode! We start out with trailer reviews of the super meta-game Millennium Blades & Wings for the Baron before we review, in depth, the latest release from Alban Viard, Small City!

It's a LONG one, but we think you'll love it! Our recap of HeavyCon 2016 has lots of special guests, lots of trash talking, lots of laughing and lots of info.
